As each day passes, we all get a little bit closer to the holiday season. That means people are already thinking Black Friday deals and where they can shop to grab all the must-have items before they're sold out.

The Maine Mall is always packed with shoppers throughout November and December, and if you're planning a visit in the next couple of months, you'll likely see a few new places to stop by.

207 Kicks bills itself as a luxury sneaker and streetwear store. Inside the store, you'll find all the hottest sneaker brands as well as unique and difficult-to-find brands. Not only that, but 207 Kicks prides itself on buying and trading sneakers. Think of it like the Bull Moose of footwear.


 

Go! Calendars and Games

Similar to Spirit Halloween, you generally know it's the holiday season in the mall when Go! Calendars and Games opens up. The store is filled with (you guessed it) calendars and games. That includes a wide array of classic board and card games in unique versions like Super Mario Bros, Star Wars, and more.

With Olympia Sports officially closing their doors at the end of September, there's a void left behind in the mall for sports apparel. Say hello to Team Spirit. The store will be filled with all the sports apparel every hardcore fan will want to get their hands on.

There isn't a ton of information about rack attack as of this writing, but if this is the national chain Rack Attack, then it would be an interesting addition to the Maine Mall. Rack Attack is a chain that specializes in racks for bicycles, skis, boards, boats, and vehicles. That can include everything from cargo baskets to rooftop tents.


 

Toys 'R' Us

The venerable toy store is back in a different form in 2022. Located inside Macy's, Toys 'R' Us is now more of a department than an actual new store. It still brings back plenty of nostalgia, featuring shelves filled with iconic toy brands like Lego, Barbie, and more.


 

Fro-Yo Factory

A new addition to the food court, the Fro-Yo Factory serves up several different flavors of frozen yogurt, as well as fresh smoothies. Don't sleep on their smoothie bowls, an interesting take on the classic smoothie shake served like a protein bowl.
